这是日食时地球的样子。可以看到月球的阴影使地球的一部分变暗。这个阴影以每小时近2000公里的速度穿过地球。只有靠近黑圈中心的观测者才能看到日全食——其他人只能看到日偏食,因为只有一部分太阳被月球挡住了。这张1999年8月11日日食的壮观照片是和平号空间站拍摄的最后一张照片之一。左上角的两个亮点被认为是木星和土星。2001年,和平号在一次受控的再入中脱离轨道。大约两周后,北美将出现一次新的日食。

Here is what the Earth looks like during a solar eclipse. The shadow of the Moon can be seen darkening part of Earth. This shadow moved across the Earth at nearly 2000 kilometers per hour. Only observers near the center of the dark circle see a total solar eclipse - others see a partial eclipse where only part of the Sun appears blocked by the Moon. This spectacular picture of the 1999 August 11 solar eclipse was one of the last ever taken from the Mir space station. The two bright spots that appear on the upper left are thought to be Jupiter and Saturn. Mir was deorbited in a controlled re-entry in 2001. A new solar eclipse will occur over North America in about two weeks.
